Big changes are on the horizon for GM, with a pivot to electric powertrains that includes fan favorites like the Chevy Corvette. As such, GM is developing a new electric Corvette sedan, and now, GM Authority has rendered what the forthcoming battery-powered Vette might look like.
As GM Authority exclusively reported last month, GM is considering a new electric Corvette sedan to rival EVs like the Porsche Taycan and Tesla Model S. Of course, news that GM is thinking about electrifying the Corvette shouldn’t come as a surprise, given GM President Mark Reuss confirmed as much this past April following the release of a teaser for the new C8 E-Ray.
The question, then, is what such a model might look like. Back in October of 2019, GM Authority rendered the mid-engine C8 as a four-door sedan, extending the greenhouse and modifying the overall layout to fit more room in the cabin. Thing is, a Y2-based electric Corvette sedan doesn’t really make sense, at least proportionally and mechanically speaking. Instead, the most obvious solution to bring this concept to market is to base the new electric Corvette sedan on the GM BEV3 platform, just like the upcoming Cadillac EV sedans, as GM Authority covered previously.
But what about styling? With BEV3 under the skin, we looked to the previous-generation C7 Corvette for design cues, as applied with a modernized feel. The proportions here are more in line with an EV as well, including a longer hoodline and a three-box layout. Both a trunk and a frunk are included, as are frameless doors.
In terms of sizing, our electric Corvette sedan isn’t small. Not only does it need space for passengers, but it also needs space for the batteries, and to that end, exterior sizing is in line with the Tesla Model S. For reference, the Tesla Model S has an overall length of 197.7 inches, a wheelbase of 116.5 inches, an overall width of 78.2 inches, and an overall height of 56.3 inches.
As for motivation, the upcoming electric Corvette sedan may be equipped with four electric motors (one per corner) for ultimate all-wheel drive performance.
Controversial? You bet. And this is just the start, so make sure to subscribe to GM Authority for more Chevy Corvette news, Chevy news, GM technology news, GM electric vehicle news, GM business news, and around-the-clock GM news coverage.

if had some adjustments in front bumper side, wheels in chrome without the red brake part, mean in silver it would be fully better ok… actually it would be a sedan we all expect here, avoid yellow put in green
Looks like a low rent Pontiac
I believe that Corvette has crossed over into competition with European sports car markets with the c8 for sure. I believe that a lesson from Ferrari is what Corvette can adopt and start competing in different classes. Mainly the front and mid engine platforms with multiple models of each being represented in any given year. I think it is unwise to scrap a beautiful model like the C7 front engine masterpiece of it’s day. Especially the Z06, Grand Sport, ZR1 serious racing inspired powerhouse machines full of engineering marvels. Keep it going and building on it for 10 to 20 years like Ferrari, Lambo, and Porsche has done. All the while building on the C8 platform that appeals to another part of the market. Sure there will be far lass of each vehicle type built per year but that alone puts Corvette into a new level of competition, price, and value long term. I love my 2016 Z06, the look, power, mechanics, etc.. incredible experience to drive and push from time to time. C8 is similar but appeals to a different type of customer. Great still in every way but in a totally different platform and dynamics.
I Agree 👍 I Have A 2016 Stingray Coupe.My Favorite Corvette Ever!!!
I don’t care what Ferrari does. The days of Corvette “following” should be over!
The body definitely needs Corvette fenders and rear quarters to house the meaty tires needed to keep a hot rod sedan capable of mind blowing 0-60 times and handling at lower and hight speeds on the road. The hot rod spirit can’t be left out. Otherwise it’s just another sedan or SUV.
What it needs is to be SCRAPPED. Bad idea.
Rather tame overall design. Not what I would expect of a corvette.
It’s not “tame”, it’s LAME!
A “car” Corvette?
A rose is a rose is a rose but no “car” can be a Corvette Stingrays are 2 seaters
I love my Porsche 911, but would never think of buying a Porsche sedan or SUV. Porsche is a sports car, not a sedan or SUV. Same goes for the Corvette. It is an iconic sports car. DO NOT MAKE IT INTO SOMETHING IT ISN’T!
For the record.. “I detest 99% of all renderings.”. That said, you now know where I stand..
But it has morphed into a sedan and SUV. They’re both popular and are still sports vehicles in their own classes. Why should Corvette lose out on being more versatile sports vehicles when everyone else including Lamborghini, Porsche, and others. This rendering is almost there but needs aero included in the design because it HAS to be 500+ HP and a hot rod Corvette in the end to be appealing to people who want a family and a Corvette that lives harmoniously together in this vehicle.
Yes that what many said when Porsche brought out the 4 door sedans too. I live in a metro area and she more of the Porsche sedans than the coupes or convertibles. The 4 door Porsche sedans/sport backs have been a huge success and big profit builder for them.
If I lived in an area like that I would consider moving!
Live in CA, but have one foot in NV. 4 hours east and it’s a different situation whatsoever.
Where will the engine sit?
So make a Sedan and name it Corvair….. why taint the vette???? Terrible move, course what do you expect out of lowercase gm
It’s a rending, I would think that Chevy would not allow that thing to have Corvette on it’s fender.
Ugliest yellow I have ever seen.
Thank you for saying that, that is damn true.
I hate it. Looks like any other sedan with a Vette symbol on the front. Ugly…and why ruin the true only sports car in America.
OMG!…Is That The Best Design They Could Come Up
With!…Looks Sad!
If Porsche can do it, why can’t GM. Looks good to me.
Porsche did a 914 too but that does not mean Chevy should do that either.
Who cares what Porsche does? They tried to make a front-engine sports car, the 928, and it was a FLOP! And their 944 couldn’t keep up with the C4 Corvettes in the SCCA Showroom Stock Series.
Wow! So GM wants to destroy the Corvette. Looks like they are doing a great job doing it! Obviously, GM does not like the Corvette anymore or the Corvette people. I do not believe that people who love sports cars – in particular the Corvette – will even look twice at this mess. Looks like another cheap import.
Looks more like a c
camaro.
Corvette should absolutely be a separate brand. Look at the Porsche model, they were solely 356, then 911 based. When they brought out an SUV, I thought “Oh, no”. But they were right. The new cars kept the “Porsche-ness”, and provide cash flow for the sports car development. Let Chevy do a similar thing. Create Corvette SUV, sedan, smaller roadster, whatever, just keep the “Corvette-ness”. It will work.
GM has talked about making Corvette a separate brand for a long time. It would not surprise me if this were a step toward that goal. Many smaller dealers can’t afford to send sales and service people to the expensive training.
“Talk” is cheap.
Sad statement of the times. The concept of the Corvette was never intended for a sedan or SUV. And as for an electric Corvette, pretty pointless too. Just a Tesla with a Corvette badge. No V8 = no real character. Just another whizzy electric car with a different body to look at. I’d rather Corvette went out with a bang, like Challenger. Chevy could have made another electric ‘sports car’ and transitioned it after Corvette was laid to rest. Instead of that, we get to see Corvette be diluted and metamorphose into something distinctly less great and more generic. Slow handclap.
Sedan? Then we get a station wagon and even a pick up trick.? Move the plant to Stuttgart. My C 7 has become more valuable with this stupidity. Bean counters will destroy driving as we enjoy it now. Hopefully this vehicle is designated as a museum piece only! Barra begone.
Easier solution…take a Malibu and put Corvette Cross Flags on it and there you are. Easy Peasy.
Just does not appeal to me at all. Don’t think anyone would consider it a corvette.
Give it a different name and say it’s an offspring.
call it a CORVAIR…and get it over with…please don’t insult the Corvette brand,….clearly the fuegos have taken over at GM…My 67 Nova outclasses this contraption…
The “Corvette brand” of which you speak died after seven generations. When the federal government told GM to continue building the Corvette during the economic melt-down a new generation of bean counters took control of the General. These people know only that “butts in the seats” were the solutions to all problems. That philosophy does not allow for individualism, the very heart beat of Corvette. True, the C 8 did bring many new owners. “Corvette brand” was not built on the latest and greatest gimmicks but through loyal, satisfied customers over a long period of time. Most loyalists I know agree that they do not care for the driver swap the C 8 brought. IF they favored that configuration the could have been driving a Porsche since the C 1 was introduced. The C 8 is a great looking car. It lives in its own category. The only advantage I can see is the re-sale value of my car has been kept higher b/c people still want the “Corvette brand” and Chevrolet no longer sells that.
GM needs an electric sports car. And it has to be better than a Tesla Model S Plaid and cost less to compete against all the foreign brands that will make one.
I find it funny how people can’t tell the difference between a clickbait render and an actual GM design. The even tell you it’s a render. I suspect it won’t look like a Nissan 370Z with 4 doors.
Some people cant read.
Good looking rendering. I like it.
GM is going down with these useless concepts.
They have gone from #1 in world to the laughing stock.
They haven’t learned to build what people want, still trying to ram junk designs down peoples throats. GM hay day is long gone.
This goes to show you how damaging to GM these clickbait renders are. I see this all the time. Where people believe a render from an online mag is believed to be from GM. This isn’t from GM people. They even tell you.
Luis…I Would Say 5 Out Of 10 Men Look At Title Of The Article…Eye Scan The Photo…Catch A Couple Phrases And Maybe Make A Comment…If They Get A Notice Of A Response And It Is Negative They Then Read The Article Word By Word…..LOLOL
Why not an take the Corvette logo off and slap on a Camaro logo on it? Problem no, solution?
I thought I read a story like 10-15 years ago where the corvette and it’s designer had originally planned to add a sedan at some point.
Chevrolet DID build a Corvette station wagon. In 1954 Chevy made a Nomad wagon. Since the base car was an initial failure Chevy never went much further with this disaster. In all, they have tried five different versions of Corvettes.
The Nomad didn’t die it came out as a 1955 Chevy Nomad. !955-57 were the best Nomads built and then GM screwed that but good.
That’s about as boring a design as I can imagine…I hope they don’t build a corvette sedan, but if they do, I hope it doesn’t look like that.
If GM gets the B*lls to do this (which they should) it will be Taycan who?
Lets Go GM
What a freaking Joke ! Just like FORD bastardized the Mustang name, GM copy-cats seek to do the same to their Vette. Figures….after all, we know who their CEO is and how this Reuss guy is kissing her coat tails and what those coat tails cover.
What a stretch… Leave it alone and move on.
If you desperately want a 4 door speedster, design a new model and leave Camaro and Corvette alone…
The Tesla Plaid proves that electric will be the future. Lower maintenance, simpler build lower cost electric motors do not mean it has to be a boring looking 4 door sedan. Corvette name should remain a sports car. Porsche and Lamborghini defamed themselves for the sake of sales volume to spread the development costs out. They had nothing else. If you want a 4 seat Corvette, there’s the Camaro. If you insist on an SUV/station wagon make a better looking/performing Trailblazer.
Beautiful rendering. Looks great.
Or maybe a Corvette bus, a 20 passenger with electric rear motor and a retractable hard top. Not complete without a bar stocked with Tequila and buttermilk (served warm).
Gotta run……my Nurse is here with my medication.
What a way to ruin a great drink?
I think you need more than medication, a lobotomy maybe.
Name it something else and leave “Corvette” alone
I like it. Park it next to my C8. Call it Corvair if it makes the bunched panties feel better, I liked the Corvair a lot.
I like it! If Porsche can do it, and be successful why not do this for the Corvette! Still always have the 2 seater, and have this 4 seater for the family. Everyone is happy. 🙂
Not everyone!
Porsche makes high performance vehicles. They make an SUV but they don’t call it a 911 because that’s a unique two seat sports car. GM makes all types of vehicles but only one unique two seat sports car and it should stay that way.
I think my theory was correct in GM’s push for going all electric which behind the scenes is being mandated by the government while also incentivizing the manufacturers with dollars. I think this push-to-go EV is one reason why they can’t get the Z06 out the door. I believe the Z06 will be short-lived or limited with the push to E-Ray, Zora, and a sedan. You may all think I am crazy but with 3 states banning ICE vehicles by 2035 and the government putting pressure on consumers and manufacturers, in turn, manufacturers need to change their strategy if they want to stay in business. The current administration, environmentalists, and elites are controlling this country, not the people. Eliminate fossil fuels, rely on other countries to sell us oil, and have policies mandating solar and wind power all in the name to save our planet. It’s the current administration’s ideology period! The American people need to rise up and let their congressmen and Senators know what We the People want, not what they want, then maybe we can all continue to order ICE vehicles, EV’s and I can get my Z06.
Hate It. Period. Destroys the legacy. Call it Camaro sedan like Mopar Chargers, but not Corvette … America’s Sports Car
I have seen worse renderings. More sedan like than SUV, but no Vette should be a 4 door, but it isn’t from GM so who knows.
Absolute garbage. There is no reason to do this. It is lazy. How lazy will it be to ride the coattails of corvette’s hard earned success over the decades. They are going to ruin the brand by caving to nonsensical shortsighted fads. Absolute garbage.
It’s a render take it for what it is. Who knows what the finale will look like. But the Corvette is an iconic SPORTS car not an SUV.
The other manufactures are trying to take advantage of wannabe buyers who for whatever reason want a sports car but can’t get one. If it aint broke don’t fix it.
Is GM for real with this??? Is GM for real with anything, in general? Sad! ♐
Looks horrible!
Looks like a Porsche. Bet it will sound like one too.
It truly saddens me to come to automotive sites. I can only imagine that the Harley Earl’s and the Bill Mitchell’s would be so disappointed in where the automotive industry has gone. I hope this idea stays only a rendering.
As a former GM designer I am confident that this is no Corvette.
Thank you very much !!!!
Are you guys OUT OF YOUR FLIPPING MINDS?!?!? No true Corvette person would want this! If that’s what you lust for, then go to your Acura dealer. Just because some “European” companies are doing abominations of their sacred sports car, doesn’t mean CHEVROLET should FOLLOW them! Americans DON’T FOLLOW! (Unless they are green Wokies!) We LEAD! If GM ever does this, they will have SCREWED THE POOCH!
I am not one to normally hate on things like this. I don’t mind that times are changing and vehicles aren’t what they used to be,but I hate this. Every bit of soul has been sucked out of it. This is not a Corvette. This is an electric Malibu with Corvette shaped headlights.
I have never been a huge fan of Corvettes until the C8, so I know my opinion is quite different than most people here. I understand what GM is trying to do, but if they make something like this they are just going to push their loyal followers further away than they already have. I don’t completely hate the idea of a Corvette inspired sedan, but don’t call it a Corvette and do something with more flare than this. I am actually about to buy a 2023 Blazer and love it because of some of the Camaro styling. I am not opposed to it being a front wheel drive crossover instead of a body on frame SUV. I do wish they would have named it something else tho. I don’t go offload, so a crossover fits my needs and even though I probably wouldn’t buy one they should have saved the Blazer name and made a capable off-road SUV for the people who do want that. They are leaning too hard into their iconic names and ruining their legacy even though the name of a vehicle is probably the least important part when deciding what to get next.
NO, just NO………
Maybe the new Camaro EV?
I’m sure Chevy can design something better looking than that. I have a C8 now and would consider getting an electric SUV corvette or electric sports car to replace the C8, especially if it was AWD.
HAS THE UNITED STATES, GENERAL MOTORS AND CHEVROLET GONE FU**ING CRAZY OVER ELECTRIC CARS AND TRUCKS??
THE 70 YEARS OF HAVING THE BEST 2 SEATER SPORTS CAR USING GASOLINE WITH THE MILLIONS OF CORVETTES SOLD AND LOVED BY EVERYBODY IS BEING KILLED OFF BY MS. MARY BARRA AND MR. MARK REUSS. WHAT A SHAME!
SOMEBODY IN THE GENERAL MOTORS SHARE HOLDERS GROUP HAS GOT TO SELL THE CORVETTE PLANT, THE PATENTS, THE DESIGNS, AND EVERYTHING ELSE INVOLVING THE 8TH GENERATION OF CORVETTES – THEN RELEASE ALL CHEVROLET AND GM MANAGEMENT THAT HAVE SCREWED UP THIS CORVETTE SO BADLY – THEN CONVERT ALL GM MODELS TO ELECTRIC TECHNOLOGY.
LEAVE THE CORVETTE ALONE WITH GASOLINE ONLY ENGINES, WITH ONLY 2 FRONT SEATS, WITH THE CURRENT MID-ENGINE DESIGNS AND KEEP OUR CORVETTE TRUE TO WHAT WAS DESIGNED IN 1953 – NO FOUR SEAT SEDAN, NO ELECTRIC OR HYBRID BULLS**T AND NO MORE WACKY, SILLY USES OF THE CORVETTE MODEL.
IS THERE ANYBODY LEFT IN DETROIT AT GM THAT HAS ANY INTELLIGENCE AS TO WHAT THE CURRENT CORVETTE SITUATION IS?? BOWLING GREEN CAN’T BUILD ENOUGH NEW CORVETTES JUST FOR THE BUYER DEMANDS, WITH TWO YEARS WAITING TO DRIVE YOUR NEW VETTE, SINCE 2020, THE Z06 IS IN DEEP PRODUCTION TROUBLE AND THERE IS WAY TOO MUCH DEPENDENCE ON INCOMPETENT PARTS SUPPLIERS FROM AROUND THE WORLD.
BRING EVERYTHING BACK TO DETROIT AND BUILD GASOLINE POWERED, 2 SEAT CORVETTE SPORTS CARS – OR KILL THE CORVETTE MODEL ENTIRELY.
GET YOUR SH!T TOGETHER CHEVROLET.
THANKS FOR LISTENING.
We Jeff,
We hear ya, Dude! To answer your question, YES, GM’s CEO, Mary Barra is ALL-IN for electric cars and has pledged that by 2035 all GM vehicles will be electric, PERIOD! Automakers everywhere are now in a drag race to go ALL-electric ASAP!
I seriously doubt that GM would ever sell off the Corvette brand. Corvette has become one of the company’s flagship technology brands.
Only GM know what they are calculating. But I “guess” they believe that the supply chain issues will correct themselves. They DO love WISHFUL, OPTIMISTIC thinking!
It’s not just “Chevrolet” that needs to get their “stuff” together, it’s the entire industry. Check out the latest issue of Motor Trend’s “New Cars” issue. All the advanced cool stuff is being built into the electric cars. They’re NOT going to be left the only automaker with NO electric cars. Ain’t gonna happen.
Of course, the “thing” floating in the punch bowl is, “how is the electrical grid going to support all cars and trucks plugging in every day???” What will we do if China ever says, “No more batteries for YOU!” Unless they know something We the Sheeple don’t know, this may well change Life in America in ways you DON’T want to imagine.
All to satisfy the virtue of a small group of people, The Green Freaks!
I can’t wait to see all-electric NASCAR, NHRA, Formula 1, and IMSA racing! (NOT!) It’ll be the LOUD sounds of swarming ANGRY bees!!! Or, LOUD electric drills, sponsored by Black & Decker! God help us!!!
Jeff. Scott,
You are absolutely correct. The latest cover of Car & Drive “EV of the Year”. All they talked about were EV’s. The is no way the US Electrical grid will be upgraded to handle all the EV’s by 2035. Wind and solar alone cannot support the grid. Since fossil fuels are banned and they are against nuclear, the US is in deep trouble. At some point in time, they will realize the mistake, or another administration will take over and decide fossil fuels and nuclear need to come back but it takes years to bring these facilities back online. Lessons learned, Europe went this route years ago and is suffering today. They realized it was not working and are in the process of bringing their coal and gas back online. Bottom line the hard-working American people are screwed.
What does this car have in common with a Corvette. It’s not the same platform. It’s not a sports car. Nobody knows what it would look like at this point but no way it can look like a Vette. All the others that make sports cars and now sedans and suvs, nobody calls them the same name as there sports car. It would be a whole different car made by GM. Give it its own name.
I’d say the rear view of that rendering looks very much like the dodge charger concept from 1999! On one hand, I can see GM wanting to build a 4–door ‘Vette … but they already did that with the Pontiac (Commodore) G8 GXP, and then failed miserably by continuing to try with the Chevy SS (I remember when SS meant Super Sport as a trim level). On the other hand, I like the fact that the Corvette is an “affordable” sports car for the performance level offered in standard trim at it’s price point. I’d say IF the general decides to build a TRUE 4-door ‘Vette, they should (at the very least) try to copy Porsche and keep the front and back of the car looking like the 2-door version of the same car … not make it look like another company’s bread & butter car. Please make a new rendering of a 4-door Corvette that is DESERVING of the Corvette name and badge. Me personally though, I’ll stick with the Corvette coupe.
Will be a good seller. Well done. Will give Musk a run for the money.
Oh Hell No. A corvette sedan will be the end of corvette.
Why wouldn’t they have done this 20 years ago when the C5/6 came out. Instead of giving us those lack luster Fwd Impala SS. GM is so behind.
So, you turned the Corvette into a Mazda Miata?
gm would be better off by just bringing the Impala back into the Chevy line up, I’m not quite feeling the level of excitement by this look.
Remember how Ford screwed up the Thunderbird in 1958. Then came the Mustang in 1964 and they screwed that one up too. Corvette is the ONLY American sports can so leave it that way 🙁
And remember how 10 years after the Mustang came out, FORD SCREWED-THE-HORSE and came out with the PINTO-BASED “Mustang-II”??? And THEN, they had the STEW-GOTS to make a “SHELBY MUSTANG-II”!!! The Fox-body “Mustang” was interesting, but was it a “Mustang”? NO! It SHOULD have been a FALCON!
If Chevrolet tries to make the Corvette a 4-door, cross-over “sports car”, and convince us, “Oh, it’s still a sports car! It’s just DIFFERENT, more MODERN.” I believe that 80% of the Corvette community will say, “How COULD YOU?!?!? Bu-BYE”!
GM is clearly abandoning its past, strong/decisive customer base and successful Corvette brand/heritage, in favor of becoming a true expression of what it has evolved into – Government Motors. If we were in a true free market with free market economics, we wouldn’t be looking at ridiculous offshoot, electric renditions of a singular, loved, gasoline-powered icon. Let’s not fool ourselves, car manufacturers don’t go in this direction unless the steel arm of government forces it. I’m afraid this is more than GM taking a wrong turn, it’s GM succumbing to the strong-arm of government. Look at Dodge… same thing there; killing their wildly popular Challenger and Charger for this bizarre electric thing with phony sound-bearing ‘exhaust pipes’. At-least Dodge had the sense to end production of its proper muscle cars. GM will instead execute Corvette with a slow and painful death. We’ll watch as Corvette becomes a shadow of its former self, becoming nothing but a familiar badge on a generic variation of a Tesla. If anyone thinks that the Corvette will magically retain the character we’ve come to love over the decades, as it transitions to electrical power, with silent, 4-door sedan or SUV offshoots, they’re not a true Corvette enthusiast and have zero understanding of what has made Corvette what it is today. And the future of Corvette looks dismal, by all accounts.
I think GM is totally thinking about a 4 door Corvette. On page 29 of my 2021 C8 Owner’s Manual, they let a future option be known. There is a child strapped into a car seat which is in the back seat! As for the electrics, the E-Ray is the only electric car that I could stomach so far. I think it would be a lot of fun in those intersections with the drifting circle in the middle of it.
lol…. dear god, please no.
This rendering is the equivalent of watching a static TV, and seeing “The Ring Girl” crawl out of the TV screen. But “The Ring Girl” is a 4 door electric Corvette.
Corvette is a model, one of many under the Chevrolet brand. All the speculation of a Corvette SUV, and now a sedan seems to be polling by GM to determine the feasibility of making Corvette it’s own division. Oldsmobile and Pontiac went by the wayside, Saturn was a flash in the pan.
Imagine the Corvette brand, the Stingray, a four door sedan, a crossover, an SUV, maybe a throwback El Camino. All electric.
Please God, shine some sense on the GM headquarters, keep the Corvette a singular model.
Variations yes, SUV—hell no.
ICE, EV, cold fusion; whatever will make go fast, but retire the name before a bunch of mediocre second rate vehicles are wearing the Corvette badge.
Retire the very been ruined anyway. Call new one short circuit.
Developing a vehicle to its fullest potential does not mandate adding doors! Chevrolet would exhibit total incompetency if they start “Porsching” the Corvette. IF more doors are their preference then bring back the Vega!
The Vega GT….What A Car?…I Drove It To A Marine Corps Reserve Location And Every Time I Took My Foot Off The Gas It Started Back Firing….I Took It To A Chevrolet Dealership (It Was Brand New…300 Miles) And The Service Manager Told Me That Was Normal With This Car….I Traded It In The Next Day With 325 Miles On The Odometer At A New Dealership.
Making Corvette a full Automotive line makes perfect sense. The idea is to keep “Corvette-ness” in every model, That means World Class performance in a SUV, roadster, sedan, delivery van, whatever. Porsche sports cars flourish because of sales of the Panamera and SUV’s, all of which retain Porscheness. I think Chevy would do well to break Corvette off into the American Powerhouse brand.
Don’t worry about styling. What is important is to maintain “Corvetteness”: High performance and quality build . Look at Porsche, when they first introduced non-911 based SUV’s. There were anguished cries from some. But the new lines maintained what made Porsche excellent. They maintained Porscheness. GH, Chevrolet can do the same with Corvette.
